Chhabra is accused of forcibly assaulting a 23-year-old female patient in an exam room at the Norris City Healthcare Clinic. The misdemeanor charge of battery alleges he bit the victim's lip.

The alleged victim in the case reported the incident first to the White County Sheriff's Department, which asked for assistance from a sex crimes unit of the Illinois State Police. Chhabra has been free on $10,000 cash bond since his arrest.
